A late comprising a bar a is pivoted to the fire-box doc r, the long end of the latch being provided with a button. 0, an a pin 0 is arranged on the fire-box door to inpportthe iong end of the latch when the atch is not in ts enga ing )osition, the weight of the long end hol ing t 1e short end in the latching position when engaging the notch in the securin device a".

* pen the free ed *0 of the plate dividing the oven from the fire )()X is an. angle piece or lug a", formed into al therewith and adapted to engage the lat-ti c. In the ordinary use of the latch the long or heavy end rests upon the pin 0, the short end engagin r beneath the angle-piece a". The lower e go of the anglepiece a, is beveled, so that when the door F is (pushed shut the upper edge of the short en -of the latch c enga es the bevel on "the angle-plate, depressing t e short end until it enga es the notch at the inner end of the have thus making the latching of the door automatic. i 4

When the stove is being asked For shi ment or 'for carriage, both oors are part y opened, and the up or end of the eatcheis turned over to the right until the catch is at approximatdly an on le of fort Jive degrees to the-horizontal. T e long en of the latch a is then turned over to the right and both doors are pushed shut. The long end of the latch is then raised until it engages beneath the angle-piece a and the cats is turned in to position to en gp the lugs e t" passing over the long end t elatch, said end being 'ufit e r1passed shackle o the padlock e" is then lug a through the openings in the catch an and locked,

, Staples a" are riveted to the opposite sides of the stove in which engage the upper ends of the legs for supporting the stove. The legs are of the general shape shown in Figs. land 12, comprising a vertical portion 9 .or engaging the staples, a horizontal portion 9, upon whidh rests the bottom of the stove, a vertical portion 9', an outwardlybent portion 9, and a horizontal portion g, resting upon the ground. The vertical portion is pro vided with an aperture 9 l receiving the end of wire, bolt, or rod ongagil'ig the apertures in the corresponding legs on the op 'msite s des of the stove and provided with the knots or heads or nuts g for r taining it in place.

An ash-pan ll of a size to fit within the firebox of l'liU stove rests upon the wires or rods 9 beneath the grate a of the lire-box, said ash-pan being provided with a handle 71 of any approved construction. The ash-pen, as shown in Fig. l in the construction of the stove, is made to hang slightly below the siovcgral1c, thus permitting ne air or draft to pass over its outer edges into the perforations of the grate into the fire-box of the stove to the oblong hole in dividing late betwi-on the stove and the oven, intot 1e space formed between the inner shell and outer plates of the oven, thence through thenotehes ii in the stovepipe, thus making a complete and good draft and a rpiicklydiaking stove and oven.

It will be evident from the description that my improved stove presents n'lany ad vantages, among which may be mentioned compactness, strength, and durability. The arran ement oi the locking-bars presents a convenient means For securing the doors in closed position, whereby they may be locked with a single look, while by reversing the arrangement of the lockin each. door maybe secured se 'arately. Tl m arrangement of the one cnc plate a for the back of the stove provides a stren thening for the rear edge of the casing, and the arran emen t of the flanges on the free edge of t 1e plate a and the inner casing'of the oven provides an ellicient strengthening and spacing means, while at the same time the inner casing is easily detached for cleaning. If desired, the inner easing may be reinforced at the top or at any other suitable lace. The wires or rods securin the legs in pairs ofiers a conveuient mo e of supportihg the ash -?pan, and when not in use the wires may be wrapped around the le s or the bolts detached and the legs and t e ash-pan and pipe placed inside of the stove. The dnflleor outfit is packed within the oven. When packed, there are no loose parts to rattle, knockoff, or to become lost, and when locked it makes a compact and safe shipping apparatus in itsel and for the contents.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
